Sit and Stand Straight

We should all have a good understanding of where we should be in life or at least an idea of where we would like to be. Strengthening a habit like; standing or sitting straight, is a nice place to start.

It’ll take a few weeks before you develop any habit strong enough for it to feel like you’re running on it autopilot. So, don’t be too hard on yourself in the beginning.

Just keep at it with persistence, each and every day.

Keep in mind; we’re focusing on small steps here. The less energy it consumes, the more likely we are to follow through.

This makes the journey a much easier one to travel.

The bottom line is to steadily build better habits in our lives. Then, move on to another area — that can use some improvement — in the same fashion.

First things first;

Fix Your Posture, Sit and Stand Straight

Anytime you catch yourself slouching, (if you can) make a quick adjustment and straighten up.

Always try to keep your head aligned with your shoulders, and shoulders aligned with your hips.

Besides making you appear taller, it can also influence the way you feel. Think “Power pose“.

Some research shows that straightening up your posture can boost your mood and energy levels.
